13... Nge7 |
Very good. Threatening to swap knights and blunt white's attack. | ||||
| | |||||
|
14. Nxc7 |
!? Very aggressive, but very good! Black will be under a lot of pressure once he recaptures with his king. | ||||
| | |||||
|
14... Kxc7 15. b5 |
Yes! This has the fantastic threat of N-moves, Bf7 , winning the queen! This is a critical point in this game for white and black both. | ||||
| | |||||
|
15... Ng6 |
Defending against the threat, and hitting the Bf4, forcing white to address that counterthreat. Both sides have a great attack, and it's a question of whose will get there first. | ||||
| | |||||
|
16. Bd5 |
??????? Augh! No! No no no no no! This was one of the worst moves I could've made. I just gave up a bishop for free, with no compensation. The Bf4 was very important, as it helped hold down defense of the kingside. How could I just ignore it? I mistakenly thought that after I played Bxc6 on my 17th, black would play bxc6 and I would terrorize him with my queen, advanced pawn, and possibly the rook down the b-file, forcing a victory. It's amazing what even good players can overlook. | ||||
| | |||||
|
16... Nxf4 |
Winning the bishop, and hence the game. | ||||
| | |||||
|
17. Bxc6 |
I continue with my unsound plan, completely unaware of the defense made possible by black's 11th move... | ||||
| | |||||
|
17... Qc5 |
! Stopping any threat that white has, and effectively ending the game. White has nothing better than to exchange queens and simply go to a piece-down endgame. I played on for a few more moves, but I could have resigned here. | ||||
| | |||||
|
18. Qa5+ |
Desperately trying to keep the firepower on the board, and hoping for a horrid mistake like b6. | ||||
| | |||||
|
18... Kb8 |
With his king in a safe place, black suddenly has the horrible threat of Be2 !, winning two rooks. | ||||
| | |||||
|
19. d4 |
Aaah, I think, if I can play b6, I can play for a sneaky sneaky mate... | ||||
| | |||||
|
19... Qxd4 |
Renewing the old threat. Unfortunately, now I see that 20. b6 runs into Be2 21. Ke2 Qxg1 22. Kd2 Qxb6, nullifying the threat and winning a rook. | ||||
| | |||||
|
20. Re1 |
Defending the e2 square... | ||||
| | |||||
|
20... Be2+ |
! But simply not enough times. After Rxe2, black simply had an overwhelming material advantage, plus the queen will still defend the a7-g1 diagonal. White has a huge disadvantage and no threats, so I resigned. Still, it was an incredible attacking game by both sides until the disastrous miscalculation on my part at move 16. Now Rob is #2 and I am #3, but I plan on changing that soon! Look out for the rematch, buddy! | ||||
